I wish I’d write
A poem that would sound bright
And full of light
Maybe I’ll meet
My Fanny in the street
But she remains discrete
Where can you be hiding, O muse?
I can’t compose without you
I refuse to
Today I’m just going nowhere
Why don’t you suddenly appear?
It’s not fair
Why can’t I hear
Your «tender-taken breath»
I’m in distress
Remove your masque
Please, don’t force me to ask
Anyone for love
Where can you be hiding, O muse?
I can’t compose without you
I refuse to
Today I’m just going nowhere
Why don’t you suddenly appear?
It’s not fair
«Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite [...]
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,»
Where can you be hiding, O muse?
I can’t compose without you,
I refuse to!
Today I’m just going nowhere
Please darling suddenly appear,
Come on, dare!
Show me your green lights
Your northern lights
Words in quotation marks by the poet John Keats.

Don’t you think that I am living sadly?
Is it really true that I need him to be pathetically happy?
I wish I could relieve my sadness by crying
I wish I’d stop this insincerity to myself
Why am I always lying?
I’m always messing up all that I’m trying
Giving up when I see him crying
I wonder what is wrong
I wonder what is wrong with me
Don’t you see I can’t bear him anymore
We’re supposed to be couple but still I’m feeling neglected and I wanna be adored
I wish I could stop bleeding from the inside
I wish someone could pick me up from the ground
And leave for a flight with me on his side
I’m always messing up all that I’m trying
Giving up when I see him crying
I wonder what is wrong
I wonder what is wrong with me
Don’t you think I deserve something better?
Anyway, I know today everything has an end, one way or another
I won’t be messing up anything now
And giving up when he asks me to try
I wonder what was wrong
I found out what was wrong was you
